Re: xf86-input-mtrack: The Other Multitouch Trackpad Driver

Thanks! Finally my macbook is linux-ready. I've got it running on Fedora 15 (Gnome3).
One thing i would really love is to bind a 3 or 4 finger down swipe to an expose kind of view (show all running windows), and one to show all workspaces. Is that possible?

May I ask how this is different than the main one?

Re: xf86-input-mtrack: The Other Multitouch Trackpad Driver

great, thanks! it's already working a lot better than the original one. a few comments:
- scrolling up and down is too slow in firefox (was faster with the original driver)
- my girlfriend has rather small fingers which sometimes arent recognized properly, especially with gestures
- sometimes scrolling up doesnt work, while scrolling down does (strange...)

Same here. On the other hand, tapping is much better.

The mtrack driver is fully configurable. See the README. Also, I've fixed a few of the quirks that the original had.

This can be taken care of by adjusting the configuration. For scrolling you'll want to adjust ScrollDistance and for touching you'll want to adjust FingerHigh and FingerLow. See the README for all of the configuration options, their descriptions, and their defaults.

This I haven't seen happen. Are you lifting your fingers from the trackpad between scrolling, or are you attempting to scroll down then back up without lifting your fingers? How are you situating your fingers when you scroll and which fingers are you using?

Re: xf86-input-mtrack: The Other Multitouch Trackpad Driver

rafwes claims that his configuration works closer to the default behavior of the Mac OS X driver:

A couple of questions:
* These newer Samsungs (the ones for which the MT-capable part of elantech) have a single touchpad with no clickable buttons... does this mean I want your has_integrated_button() in capabilities.c to return 1? And more importantly, what's this for and what will it affect? (sorry if that's a dumb question - i'm kind of new to this touchpad stuff).

* Is two-finger click and drag (i.e. click with one finger, move other finger to drag) supposed to work with your Xorg driver? And if not, is this outside of the scope of what it should be doing; or simply not (yet) implemented?
If it is supposed to work, any ideas why it might not be working?
